Registered British nutritionists Dwayne Mellor and Rob Hobson said The Daily Mail says the low-carb keto diet effectively helps you lose weight and control your blood sugar. However, it is quite difficult to comply with this due to fatigue, irritability and digestive problems due to the restriction of vegetables and fruits.
The ketogenic diet (also known as the keto diet) involves removing almost all carbohydrates from your diet and replacing them with more fat and protein. This diet involves giving up bread, rice and pasta, chocolate, cakes and other sweets. Restrictions are also placed on the consumption of dairy products, fruits and vegetables.
Nutritionist Duane Mellor from Aston University in Birmingham noted that the keto diet is an effective tool for getting rid of excess weight. This type of diet also normalizes blood sugar levels in people with diabetes.
But the keto diet also has its drawbacks, according to nutritionist Hobson. First, it is difficult to follow such a diet due to limited food options. Second, reducing your intake of plant foods can lead to nutritional deficiencies and digestive problems. The nutritionist also noted that in the early stages of losing weight with this method, a person may feel tired, irritable and apathetic due to the lack of carbohydrates.
